Don RushThe Patricia Guerrieri Academic Commons on the campus of Salisbury University officially opened yesterday. It now become the biggest structure on the campus with 221-thousand square feet. Featuring the school’s library University President Janet Dudley-Eshbach said she wanted this facility to be a place where students could gather, study and learn. She said, “Today as we open the Patricia R. Guerrieri Academic Commons I remain profoundly moved by their generosity which made possible this truly transformational project. Patty was an avid learner and natural researcher, so it is only fitting that her memory will live on though facility that will encourage so many students to explore, to create and to learn.” Michael Guerrieri, Patricia’s son, told the assembled crowd that his mother would have loved seeing people further their education.

In addition, all current vacant positions for which there have not been offers already made are to be left unfilled. President Janet Dudley-Eshbach said that with potential budget cuts the university must examine employee salaries and benefits which made up 74 percent of the university's state unrestricted budget as a primary financial solution to permanent cuts. She said that last week the University System of Maryland had received a letter from the state Department of Budget and Management instructing the educational institutions to limit all discretionary spending for the remainder of the year. Earlier this week Dudley-Eshbach said the Chancellor told the university presidents they must prepare for an estimated budget cut of between $40 and $80 million to theSU Imposes Hiring Freeze in Face of State Budget Shortfall http://delmarvapublicradio.net/post/su-imposes-hiring-freeze-face-state-budget-shortfall

Meanwhile, the Salisbury Daily Times reports that the Salisbury University Foundation which holds the license has – in the newspaper’s words – backed off discussing the issue at its board meeting today. The group suggests hiring a general manager to oversee the station’s transition and hand day-to-day operations over to the Friends group. That agreement would have to be renewed after three years. Jason Curtain, the foundation’s assistant executive director, issued a statement saying that the Friends proposal will be considered along with other options and thanked the group for its interest.

Jason Curtin, interim executive director of the Salisbury University Foundation, told the paper that there was the possibility of major changes at the NPR News/ Talk signal. He noted that there are a number of news/talk formats on Delmarva. Meanwhile he said that the classical music station WSCL is not a format provided by anyone else in area. However, the Daily Times reports that there is a June 19th letter by Salisbury University President Janet Dudley Eshbach and SU Foundation Chair Charles Capute. The paper reports that the letter says public radio is – what it termed – nice -- but not essential to the university’s operations. It cites rising operating costs declining state support and few student listeners. The consulting firm Public Radio Capital has produced a study of the stations for the Foundation but Curtin declined to make it public.
